1. DeMarcus Cousins
The boom-or-bust option. If healthy, DeMarcus Cousins is the best player on the open market, bar none. That is a big if, though. Coming off success major leg injuries, it’s uncertain if Cousins is healthy and if he’s looking to come back for the league’s restart.
If he is, he could be a valuable veteran big off the bench for the Pelicans that could blossom into a huge bonus. His time in New Orleans was a success in the past and though it may have needed poorly, that was largely under different management and those burned bridges could be mended.
